Big Bore Ammunition Transport Issue On Airlines
This is a discussion on Big Bore Ammunition Transport Issue On Airlines within the News forums, part of the AfricaHunting.com category; Big Bore Ammunition Transport Issue On Airlines Some hunters have had difficulty transporting .50 caliber or larger ammunition on commercial ...

Big Bore Ammunition Transport Issue On Airlines
Big Bore Ammunition Transport Issue On Airlines
Some hunters have had difficulty transporting .50 caliber or larger ammunition on commercial airlines. This problem was caused by the Department of Transportation (DOT) misinterpretation of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations that allows the transport of ammunition up to 19mm. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has now clarified these rules and the Department of Transportation (DOT) website now contains the corrected rules, which you can find by clicking here or see below.
Hunters traveling with large caliber ammunition are encouraged to print out the ammunition page of off the Department of Transportation (DOT) website to ensure clarification if you are questioned when checking in for a flight.
Ammunition Page From The Department of Transportation (DOT)
Whether you occasionally or regularly transport ammunition aboard a passenger aircraft, you should know how to pack ammunition safely and securely. Properly packaged, small arms ammunition for personal use may be safely transported aboard commercial aircraft in checked baggage only. Additional rules from the airline may apply, so check with your air carrier before you leave for your trip.
What kinds of ammunition can I legally carry?
Small arms ammunition including ammunition not exceeding .75 caliber for a rifle or pistol and shotgun shells of any caliber. Ammunition must be securely packaged, not loose.
What types of boxes are permitted for small arms ammunition?
Ammunition must be securely packed in fiber, wood or metal boxes or other packages specifically designed to carry ammunition. Original retail packages are fine if the ammunition is held in place and completely covered.
May I pack my ammunition in a clip or a speed loader?
Yes, provided the magazine or clip completely and securely enclose the ammunition (e.g., by securely covering the portions of the magazine where the ammunition is exposed with a metal, plastic or cardboard sleeve)
How much ammunition can I carry?
The US DOT regulations do not limit the total number of packages or the total weight that may be transported in checked baggage. However, the ammunition must be for "personal use." Many air carriers limit the amount of small arms ammunition that may be carried in checked baggage to 11 lbs (5 kg) consistent with international standards. If in doubt, check with your air carrier.
May I carry ammunition components?
You may carry separate non-hazardous components of ammunition such as empty cartridge cases or inert bullets. You may NOT carry separate hazardous components such as black powder, smokeless powder, percussion caps, primers, wrapped charges used in muzzle-loading applications, or similar items.
May I bring a loaded firearm on an aircraft (in checked baggage or carry-on)?
NO, loaded firearms are NOT permitted in carry-on or in your checked baggage.
What else do I need to know?
Airlines may have additional rules or restrictions on carrying ammunition. Always check with your airline before arriving at the airport.
Where can I go for additional information?
The Transportation Security Administration has a document called the TSA Public Education Fact Sheet, Transporting Firearms and Ammunition Aboard Commercial Air Carriers that outlines the rules for securely transporting firearms and ammunition. Other information from TSA on transporting firearms and ammunition can be found from TSA by clicking here. The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives is a valuable source of additional information on firearms safety, click here.

I'm a VIP member and always get great service no matter what treatment I'm receiving. The ladies are knowledgeable and never try to sell me anything that I can't afford or want. I usually go to Jeri and just love her.
The treatments I have received at BioAesthetics have been fantastic! The staff is so knowledgeable and professional and make me feel very comfortable at each of my treatments. The Laser Genesis treatment has made such a difference and I have seen a great improvement in the texture of my skin. I would highly recommend this medical spa because the results and value of every treatment is superb.
I have received several injections of dermal fillers and Botox from Dr. Reed. Not only have they been painless but there was no bruising. The results are phenomenal but not obvious (just as I requested). I receive compliments on my new look almost daily. I am very pleased with BioAestheitics. I have also had a few laser treatments and the staff is knowledgeable and very skilled. I highly recommend this medical spa.
Only place that i would go to for laser as a woman of color for resurfacing or hair removal . IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Time to move on........
I also was a VIP member and had been for over a year but have canceled by membership. The staff has changed too much and you get shuffeled around without being notified so you're never sure whose going to do your treatment. But more importantly, the service is just adequate now, nothing special and your constantly being harassed to buy something or to give a tip. It's not worth it any longer even if you get a so called free facial each month for your $50 a month VIP fee.
Nice try girls, but I've been a client for well over about 2 years as a VIP member and have canceled my membership. I know the client that Carole W. was referring to and she was also a VIP member. She was not rude, nor does she have bad behavior. As far as injections, I myself have also overheard wrong information being given out and question the qualifications of the injector now that the doctor no longer does the injections. I would ask to see a certification or something. I know that esthetician's are not trained to do injections. It has become apparent that the doctor no longer knows what is really going on in the spa and this so called med spa has turned into an everyday spa that attempts to make you feel good but no longer gives therapeutic results like they once did. As far as up grades, wow, someone is smoking something. The rooms are dirty and the spray they put on their face towels, eucalyptus I think, gives me a headache. All in all, I can no longer recommend this place, it's turned into a mini American Laser which is where the staff has come from so you can expect to be hard sold.
I am so happy with this medi spa! I had some skin issues that were bothering me and since I have been going here, my skin issues have been completely resolved beyond my expectations. I have enjoyed working with Jeri and I just received my first injections from Heather and I love it! They are both very helpful, caring and truly genuine. Thank you all so much!
What a wonderful spa experience! The staff at BioAesthetics if very friendly and knowledgable. There is something for every skin need here and I am so happy to be a VIP. I recently had a Radiesse filler and at NO TIME did the manager or anyone say it would last 3 years. I was given very educated and accurate information. CaroleW I have been going there for a long time and it is SO REFRESHING to see the upgrade changes in staff and the rooms. I believe I know your friend you speak of and I also believe that when a customer is politely asked not to return to a business it is because of rude and bad behavior on the customers part. The team at BioAesthetics warmly welcomes and treats everyone like a VIP. Perhaps you and you friend are just too self important for the rest of the world.
It's been probably 3 or 4 months since I've been in this place and it has changed and not for the better. I absolutely do not recommend it. While I was waiting I over heard the manager tell a client that Radiesse would last for 3 years, which is an out and out lie and then when the client asked about some laser work and said she couldn't afford the cost she was told well just what can you afford and was sold something at that amount. I told my friend about this and she said she was going to write a review as well because she's a VIP and was treated poorly the last time she was in and was told in so many words we don't need your business so you can cancel your membership if you don't like it.

And quiet flows the Don, Deel 1
A.A. Knopf, 1 jan. 1934 - 755 pagina's
This story of a group of Cossacks living along the Don river--a primitive, virile, and unbelievably brutal people--centers about Gregor Melekhov, a young Cossack with Turkish blood in his veins. His home life, his unhappy marriage and impassioned love affair, and his military adventures and experiences in the Revolution are told with frank naturalism, from a Bolshevik point of view. Host of other characters crowd the pages of a powerful novel of war and revolution.

When a friend won Florida's "Fantasy Five" lottery game a few years ago, he faced a quandary: what to do with $215,000. He had a good job, had a mortgage that was down to $50,000, had little credit debt, and drove a leased BMW. So, what was quandary? How to make the most of that "found" money.
What did he do? He called his bank and met with one of their financial advisors.
Why? The answer may be best articulated by Putnam Investments, a 70-year-old investment management company with more than 9 million sharehoIder accounts, $193 billion in assets under management, offices in Boston, London and Tokyo, and 194 investment professionals:
A financial advisor is one of the most important resources you can have as a long-term investor. An advisor can work with you to define your specific financial goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, and investment preferences. An advisor can also help you avoid the mistakes common to investing. Specifically, he or she can:
- Help define your financial goals
- Determine a suitable time frame for meeting those goals
- Evaluate the level of risk appropriate for your situation
- Find investments that match your time and risk profile
- Keep you informed about changes in your investments and time horizon
- Help you stay on track and avoid making common investment mistakes
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provides the following questions and answers for both novice and experienced investors who are wondering if they should retain the services of a financial advisor or financial planner:
Q: What is an investment adviser?
A: Investment advisers are in the business of giving advice about securities to clients. For instance, individuals who receive compensation for giving advice on investing in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, are investment advisers. Some investment advisers manage portfolios of securities.
Q: What is the difference between an investment adviser and a financial planner?
A: Most financial planners are investment advisers, but not all investment advisers are financial planners. Some financial planners assess every aspect of your financial life-including saving, investments, insurance, taxes, retirement, and estate planning–and help you develop a detailed strategy or financial plan for meeting all your financial goals.
Others call themselves financial planners, but they may only be able to recommend that you invest in a narrow range of products, and sometimes products that aren't securities.
Before you hire any financial professional, you should know exactly what services you need, what services the professional can deliver, any limitations on what they can recommend, what services you're paying for, how much those services cost, and how the adviser or planner gets paid.
Q: What questions should I ask when choosing an investment adviser or financial planner?
A: Here are some of the questions you should always ask when hiring any financial professional:
- What experience do you have, especially with people in my circumstances?
- Where did you go to school? What is your recent employment history?
- What licenses do you hold? Are you registered with the SEC, a state, or the NASD?
- What products and services do you offer?
- Can you only recommend a limited number of products or services to me? If so, why?
- How are you paid for your services? What is your usual hourly rate, flat fee, or commission?
- Have you ever been disciplined by any government regulator for unethical or improper conduct or been sued by a client who was not happy with the work you did?
- For registered investment advisers, will you send me a copy of both parts of your Form ADV?
Be sure to meet potential advisor "face to face" to make sure you get along. And remember: there are many types of individuals who can help you develop a personal financial plan and manage your hard—earned money. The most important thing is that you know your financial goals have a plan in place, and check out the professional you chose with your securities regulator.
Q: How do investment advisers get paid?
A: Before you hire any financial professional – whether it's a stockbroker, a financial planner, or an investment adviser-you should always find out and make sure understand how that person gets paid. Investment advisers generally are paid in any of the following ways:
- A percentage of the value of the assets manage for you;
- An hourly fee for the time they spend working for you;
- A fixed fee;
- A commission on the securities they sell; or
- Some combination of the above.
Each compensation method has potential benefits and possible drawbacks, depending on your individual needs. Ask the investment advisers you interview to explain the differences to you before you do business with them, and get several opinions before making your decision. Also ask if the fee is negotiable.
Q: Do investment advisers have to register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission?
A: Depending on their size, investment advisers have to register with either the SEC or the state securities agency where they have their principal place of business. For the most part, investment advisers who manage $25 million or more in client assets must register with the SEC. If they manage less than $25 million, they must register with the state securities agency in the state where they have their principal place of business.
Q: How do I find out whether an investment adviser ever had problems with a government regulator has a disciplinary history?
A: Most investment advisers must fill out a form called "Form ADV." They must file their Form ADVs with either the SEC or the state securities agency in the state where they have their principal place of business, depending on the amount of assets they manage.
Form ADV consists of two parts. Part 1 contains information about the adviser's education, business, and whether they've had problems with regulators or clients. Part 2 outlines the adviser's services, fees, and strategies. Before you hire someone to be your investment adviser, always ask for, and carefully read, both parts of Form ADV.
You can get copies of Form ADV from the investment adviser, your state securities regulator or the SEC, depending on the size of the adviser. You can find out how to get in touch with your state securities regulator through the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc.'s web site.
10 Questions Answered By The Institute of Certified Financial Planners
Selecting a financial planning professional is one of the most important decisions you make: Who is qualified to guide and advise you on your financial planning needs? The Institute of Certified Financial Planners (ICFP) is the association of professionals that calls on its members to aspire to the highest levels of ethical conduct, personal development and professional competence.
As the national association exclusively representing CFP® professionals, the ICFP promotes the advancement of knowledge in financial planning, supporting programs that enable CFP members to better serve their clients, and ensuring the integrity and professionalism of ICFP members through endorsement of the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standard's, Inc. (CFP Board) Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility. Contact ICFP by calling 800.282.PLAN.
ICFP offers the following 10 questions and answers to help you make that decision.
1. Are all planners the same?
No! Be wary of people who call themselves financial planners with the intent of pushing a particular financial product at the expense of your real needs. True financial planning professionals have an ethical obligation to hold your financial interests above their own.
Moreover, not every financial planner is a Certified Financial Planner® professional. To earn the CFP® designation, individuals must meet education, examination, experience and ethics requirements established by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards (CFP Board). To maintain their right to use the CFP designation, individuals must complete the CFP Board's continuing education requirements and agree to abide by its Code of Ethics.
With a command of these segments, the CFP practitioner is well prepared and qualified to give you sound, professional advice.
2. Aren't all planners regulated?
While there has been much discussion on the federal and state levels about the need to regulate individuals who hold themselves out as financial planners, there has been little action to date. Many financial professionals are licensed on the state and federal levels within subsets of financial planning, such as insurance and securities, but they are not regulated for their financial planning activities – with the exception of the Certified Financial Planner practitioner, who is licensed by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board).
By virtue of their CFP license, granted by the CFP Board, CFP professionals are held accountable to the CFP Board's Code of Ethics for their financial planning activities.
You should also be aware that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and most states have requirements for investment advisers, a category under which financial planners fall. The Institute of Certified Financial Planners advises you to make sure the planner you choose has met these requirements as an individual practitioner or as an agent of a company that has filed for investment adviser status.
3. What can a CFP professional do for you?
A Certified Financial Planner professional can serve you in a variety of ways. The planner can help you work toward meeting a special financial goal or need such as funding your child's college education, deciding whether you can retire early, or how you can reduce your tax burden. In more general terms, the planner can analyze your overall financial picture and develop a comprehensive plan to meet your short and long-term needs, focusing on areas such as taxes, estate planning, investments, and insurance.
Some planners can assist you with managing your investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. Whatever your needs, the relationship between you and your financial planner should be an ongoing one, including periodic review of any plan or strategies you have chosen.
4. What are the right credentials?
Most Certified Financial Planner professionals have earned a four-year college degree in areas such as accounting, economics, business administration, marketing, or finance. Additionally, they have completed a course of study in financial planning at one of the colleges or universities that has registered its educational program with the CFP Board. Successful completion of one of these registered programs automatically satisfies the education component of the CFP certification process.
More and more colleges and universities are offering educational programs and degrees in financial planning-related fields that are registered with the CFP Board.
In order to be licensed to use the Certified Financial Planner mark, an individual must meet what the CFP Board refers to as the four Es. The four Es comprise the following:
Examination – An individual must successfully complete the CFP Board's comprehensive certification examination, which tests the individual's knowledge on various key aspects of financial planning.
Experience – Depending on the level of degree work completed in an academic setting, an individual must acquire three to five years of financial planning related experience before receiving the right to use the CFP marks.
Ethics – An individual must voluntarily ascribe to the CFP Board's Code of Ethics and additional requirements as mandated. This voluntary decision empowers the CFP Board to take action if a CFP licensee should violate the Code of Ethics. Such violations could lead to disciplinary action, including the permanent revocation of the right to use the CFP marks.
Education – A CFP licensee must obtain 30 hours of continuing education every two years in the body of knowledge pertaining to the following financial planning areas: estate planning, retirement planning investment management, tax planning, employee benefits, insurance and ethics.
Compliance with these four all-important Es assures you that an individual who holds the CFP license qualified to practice financial planning.
5. How do you choose the right CFP professional for you?
Ask questions. Look at each planner's back-ground, education, and philosophy of business. We recommend that you interview each planner in person. Choosing a financial planner is as important as choosing a doctor or lawyer. This guide can help you carefully analyze the attributes and abilities of each planner you interview and determine whether the planner is right for you. Ultimately, the quality of any financial planning relationship rests with you.
6. What information should you obtain?
Request a written disclosure document from the financial planner. Prepare a list of questions, such as the following:
- What is your business philosophy? What areas do you specialize in as a planner? What professional affiliations do you maintain?
- Are you a member of the Institute of Certified Financial Planners?
- How will you incorporate my particular situation into the financial planning process? How do you prepare a plan? How extensive is it?
- Do you personally research products you recommend?
- How often will we meet as a result of my situation?
- How are you compensated for your various services?
Not only is the content of the answers you receive from the planner during your interview important, but you should take note of the rapport that you initially develop.
7. What does "full disclosure" mean?
Since the planner you select will ultimately be your decision, be armed with as much knowledge as possible in order to make an educated choice. While it is important that to interview financial planners in person, you should also gather the same basic information, in writing, on every planner you meet with. This will help you compare planners and lead you to an informed decision.
The basic information should provide you with background on the planner's education, work experience, business philosophy, manner of compensation, and situations where there are real or potential conflicts of interest. This is what the Institute means by full disclosure. If you do not receive full disclosure from a financial planner, that is a sign that you should take your financial planning needs elsewhere.
8. Should you ask for references?
Seek references if they are an important part of your ability to make a decision. Ask for references from friends or business associates who may have used a financial planner. Because of the complexity of financial planning, a planner may consult with other qualified specialists such as attorneys, accountants and banking professionals to help coordinate a client's plan. These specialists are good references. Check with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), appropriate state agencies, Better Business Bureau and the CFP Board to determine if complaints have been filed against a planner.
9. How specialized are planners?
Many planners concentrate their efforts in a particular profession, income level, age group, or area of planning such as retirement, divorce or asset management. This is why it is important for you to interview prospective planners in person to find the right one to serve your needs.
10. Is the method of compensation important?
Before entering into a relationship with a financial planner, you should have a very clear understanding of how he or she will be compensated for their work. The planner should disclose this to you before starting a working relationship with you. The Institute has no formal position on the merits of any form of compensation. Instead, it is our belief that the planner's competence should be the primary consideration in your selection process.
Armed with full disclosure from the planner, you have the final say in selecting a financial planner, taking into account your comfort level with the knowledge and experience of the planner and the compensation arrangement that best suits your needs. Different planning situations, lifestyles and age have a major impact on every individual's decision to do business with and compensate their financial planner.

PAINTED SKIN smashed box-office records this summer to become the highest-grossing Mainland Chinese film of all time. This visually sumptuous take on one of the Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio by Qing Dynasty writer Pu Songling pairs humans and demons equally obsessed by something they cannot have… or cannot be. After she's freed by the bird spirit Qu'er from 500 years of imprisonment under a frozen lake, fox spirit Xiaowei still needs to devour men's hearts. She chances upon Princess Jing, who, disfigured by a bear, hides behind a mask and dares not confront her true love. If the two women exchange identities, however, Jing would be beautiful again, and Xiaowei would finally become a woman. – Bérénice Reynaud

Sara Ege used a stick to beat seven-year-old Yaseen "like a dog" if he couldn't recite passages from the Islamic text.
The beatings were so brutal that the boy died from his injuries, and his mother tried to burn the body to destroy the evidence, Cardiff Crown Court was told.
Yaseen was originally thought to have died in the house fire. But a post-mortem examination showed Mrs Ege had been beating and abusing her little boy in the months leading up to his murder.
In a video recording of her interview with police, Mrs Ege told them: "I was trying to teach him the Koran.
"I was getting more and more frustrated. If he didn't read it properly I would be very angry — I would hit him.
Religion doesn't make anybody better, but it can take our concern for our loved ones and twist it into madness. It can also amplify the worst of us until there is no humanity left.

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Shell Rotella will be delivering an early Christmas present to the Canadian market. In December, it will introduce its Rotella T6 0W-40 fully synthetic oil, which was designed specifically with the Canadian climate in mind.
"T6 0W-40 will provide the best low temperature flow within the Rotella product line," said Shell HDEO formulator Matt Urbanak during a press briefing in New York City.
At -30 degrees C, Shell's testing has shown that T6 0W-40 will reach the rocker shaft within 90 seconds. Rotella T5 0W-40 took 106 seconds. Exceptional low temperature flow is critical in preventing excess wear.
"T6 0W-40 delivers good wear protection in Cummins ISM tests," said Urbanak. "In terms of crosshead wear, it got a perfect score of 700/700."
It also achieved a sludge rating of 9.4/10 in Cummins ISM testing - the highest in the Shell portfolio – and maintained its SAE 40 grade even when it contained 6% soot (in Mack T-11 testing), thus offering exceptional shear stability.
Testing has shown that T6 0W-40 also offers significant improvements in startability at -35 degrees C over Shell's T6 5W-40 and 15W-40 formulas.
The new cold-weather formula may also offer maintenance benefits.
"It could help reduce stress and wear on the starter/battery and possibly reduce maintenance costs for these vehicle components," said Urbanak. "This has been inferred from the cold box testing we have done."
The new oil, which will replace Shell's T5 0W-40 and 0W-30 formulas, will meet CJ4/SN, Volvo VDS-3, Mack EO-N and Caterpillar ECF-3, ECF-2 and ECF-1A.

Get lean all over
Slip on a smaller size with this antiflab plan.
The trainer Mindy Mylrea, creator of Gliding, a workout done by sliding on two Frisbee-like plastic disks, developed these calorie-torching, body-sculpting moves. "Sliding engages muscles through a full range of motion, so you get double the benefits of traditional strength training," Mylrea says. "And you stabilize using your core, making it a great ab toner, too."
The plan Start with 12 to 15 reps of each move, working up to two sets of 15 to 20 reps. Mylrea sells the disks ($20; GlidingDiscs.com); SELF tested paper plates, which also work well. Do the routine three times a week on nonconsecutive days for results in one month.
Technique tips Wear sneakers, and choose a carpeted surface. In standing positions, place the ball of your foot in the center of a disk, with your heel hanging off to act as a brake. When gliding, center your weight over your nonsliding foot, keeping movements smooth and controlled. Soon you'll be sliding in style!

The activating transcription factor ATF2 (also called CRE-BP1) binds to both AP-1 and CRE DNA response elements and is a member of the ATF/CREB family of leucine zipper proteins. ATF2 has been implicated in the transcriptional regulation of a number of genes including cytokines, cell cycle control and apoptosis. Various forms of cellular stress, including inflammatory cytokines and UV irradiation, stimulate the transcriptional activity of ATF2. Stress induced ATF-dependent transcription is dependent on phosphorylation of ATF2. Serine 490 and serine 498 are novel phosphorylation sites on ATF2 that have recently been identified. In addition, ATF2 is particularly abundant in the brain and the ATF2 family of transcription factors is considered important substrates of signals upstream of the activation of genes associated with neuronal growth and differentiation. ATF2 expression has also been linked to depression in humans. Human ATF2 gene is mapped to chromosome 2q32.
This antibody was generated by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic non-phosphopeptide corresponding to human ATF-2 around the phosphorylation site of threonine 69 or 51 (D-Q-TP-P-T).

I am sure this has been covered at some state, but despite having searched, I can't find the information:
What I want to know is, if I purchase an 1.1.2 iphone, jail break etc..., is it possible to restore the device to factory defaults at a later date.
I have seen references to restore and to virginize, but am some what confused. Is there a glossary of terms commonly used so that others could consult before they need to ask a similar question to which I am asking.
Please folks don't Flame me for this, but if you do I will understand.

Fungal fight club
Lebrac/Wikimedia Commons
Battles between mushrooms don't make a sound, but they're violent. "Good fighters can kill the less-good ones and take over their territories," says mycologist Lynne Boddy of Cardiff University in Wales. "There are battles royal going on all the time."
Combat between fungal individuals is a bit like war between heaps of spaghetti. The main bodies of fungi are networks of long, thin strands called hyphae that insinuate themselves into anything they can eat: tree trunks, plant roots, dung and so on. Defending a food source or wresting a few more millimeters of turf away from a rival can prolong life. So fungi don't let a lack of teeth, claws or eyes diminish their ferocity. Boddy studies toadstool-forming basidiomycetes, a group rife with combatants that poison opponents or release enzymes that dissolve their flesh.
"I'm a great fight-goer," Boddy says. Hundreds of times, she estimates, she has brought fungi in from the wild, set up matches in lab dishes or wood blocks and documented duels lasting weeks. She watches for the hairlike strands to exude chemical droplets, sometimes blood-red. Then she tests the air above the drops for toxic gases wafting toward the enemy. "It's like gas warfare in the trenches," she says.
Fungi struggling for territory remind Boddy of a sports league. She has found that bear's head tooth fungus (Hericium coralloides), which bursts out of tree trunks in delicate, white cascades, usually whips an artist's conk fungus. But the bear's head in turn succumbs to a species called hairy parchment. A death match found that the strands of the ferocious sulfur tuft mushroom (inset, upper right) got whomped by Phanerochaete velutina.
Some fungi excel at both offense and defense, others at just one or the other. A few, poor things, are skilled at neither. But as in sports rankings, "sometimes there can be a giant killer from low down," she says, and a weak competitor beats a favorite.
And as in sports, heat or soggy conditions brings out the greatness in some competitors but dooms others. Boddy's sports analogy has its limits, though. Climate change can affect who wins fights, she and her colleagues reported this year in Fungal Ecology, but the outcomes depend on more than weather. Shifts in league rank also depend on the extent of nibbling by small woodland arthropods.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I really like this invitation style. It's simple, initmate, and gorgeous. The quality of the paper is great. The only thing I noticed with the photos is after printing, they're not quite as sharp as they are in the digital version. I'm not sure if this is because of the type of paper used or what, but it didn't ruin the invitation for me. I still think it looks good. Another issue I had was the way the invites are packaged. They come in a shrink wrap, and it's difficult to get the plastic casing off without scratching the invitation itself. Luckly, it just scratched the last one, and I had ordered a few extra, so I just kept that one to be for myself. I customized my color and wording on the inside. It was remarkably easy. I just googled the values for the color I'm using (royal blue) and put in the values. It made me a little nervous since I couldn't see it in person beforehand, but it looks great."
"The design of this card is elegant, romantic and vintage inspired which is why it captured my attention. I could not be happier with the product! The quality of the invitations are stunning. The customer service was not only helpful, but helped me choose different colors for the invitations. I had to change the layout of the card completely and the designers hit it right on the mark. Shipping was fast and delivered promptly. I highly recommend buying this invitation and using Paper Divas!"
"I loved these as our wedding invitations, we based our entire wedding colours around them. They fit our day perfectly and turned out even more beautiful than i had expected"
"These wedding invitations were such good quality. They were perfect to match my perfect fall wedding. They were definitely worth the price. I love how this website saves your projects because I needed more and was able to just go in and place the same order over again with ease. I recommend Wedding paper divas to all. Very good high quality products."
"You were able to take the text we wanted on our products, input it into the various items, edit, and explain your edits (punctuation) to us. We like the calm, nature-al colors of the Rustic (green & cranberry); the paper had body without feeling like pretty cardboard. Printing was delicate yet easy to read. We won't be sending them out till early January. Ordered at this time to beat the holiday rush! Marge"

Off the Shoulder Fashion
Off the Shoulder Fashion by Alexandra Phanor-Faury In addition to covering up shoulders in pads and even spikes this season, designers are also exposing them and drawing attention to this often ignored erogenous zone with striking, asymmetric necklines. This Grecian look isn't all that new, this trend has been around the block before but today the attention grabbing silhouette can be seen in array of styles from the traditional, ethereal long number to the sexy ultra-mini dress. There is a one-shoulder dress out there for everyone from the vampy to the avant-garde which explains why celebrities on the red carpet can't get enough of this look. If you need any more proof of this silhouette's staying power, just look to Michelle Obama. The First Lady looked breath-taking in a beautiful, white Swarovski embellished crystallized gown by Jason Wu at the Inauguration Evening Ball for President Obama. It's time to exfoliate your shoulders and get those babies ready for the spotlight in this revolving trend.

Wool & Salmon Skin House Shoes
Handmade house shoes. Made with sheep's wool from Patagonia and tanned salmon leather. Soles are soft as suede and insulating—and they don't smell like fish. Handmade in Chile. (
A shoe designed to evolve local craft in spite of the encroaching new industries in the region, this wool house shoe also makes a pedicure or a foot rub seem second rate.
Made from the local soft hair of Patagonian sheep and tanned natural salmon skin, an up-cycled fabric made from what the fishing industry would otherwise throw away. It's made for wearing with or without socks, in the house, offering a unique padding that encloses the foot and cushions it all over.
Sheep's wool, aside from its water repellant properties and warmth, is one of the best natural insulators. Salmon leather is a textile made by tanning and repurposing salmon skin which becomes a durable and flexible material. Its natural scale pattern is reminiscent of exotic leathers, but is completely renewable.
Use & Care
The house shoes shouldn't require much care, but if you do want to wash them, make sure you do it rarely and by hand using a mild soap (never bleach, which will erode the wool) and lukewarm water that shouldn't get hotter than 80 degrees F (30C).
The shoes shouldn't be put in the dryer or hung up to dry, since this could cause deformation. Instead, dry them flat.
Production & Design
A network of Chilean artisans handmake each pair of house shoes, each communicating the same design spec and synchronizing their own production network to maintain quality control. Each pair of these shoes is geo-tagged with a QR code that leads to the geographical and production details of the individuals that hand-crafted each unique piece. The shoes are made in Frtillar, a small town in Region de Los Lagos, Puerto Varas, known as "the city of roses," and Calcurrupe, a tiny town on the shores of Ranco Lake in Chile.

It was a spirited bunch, but many of its cheers made little sense due to the discrepancy on the scoreboard.
While the Elko crowd might have been louder than the home team's at the Brickhouse Friday night during a Northern 3A regional battle, the Railroaders won where it mattered — on the court.
Sparks kept its hopes of repeating as 3A state champs alive by dispatching the visiting Indians 47-44.
The Railroaders hadn't dealt with such a loud visiting crowd this year, but they remained composed.
"I was hoping for snow as much as I could, but they traveled well. They always do," Sparks boys basketball coach Mike Jones said of Elko's fans. "Elko was everything we thought they were. They're the best defensive team we've played this year. They really get after you. Luckily we hit enough shots. We prepared well for them."
Sparks doubled up on Elko's score in the first quarter when Xavier Rodriguez knocked down a 3-pointer, making it a 14-7 ball game with 1:35 left in the first.
That seven-point margin stayed intact heading into the second quarter as both teams traded a basket in the final minute of the first, so Sparks took a 16-9 edge.
The Maroon and Gold scored the first three points of the second quarter, building a double-digit lead for the first time, 19-9.
Elko responded with five unanswered on a George Mandity trey from the wing and a drive and layup by leading-scorer Rashaun Marin. That made the score 19-14 with 5:24 left in the first half. Marin paced the Indians with 18 points as the only player from his team in double figures.
Then Sparks came back with a 5-0 run of its own thanks to an Erik Garcia bucket off the glass down low and a Martin Jordan 3-pointer, pushing the gap back up to 10, 24-14. Jordan was on fire in the first half, scoring 14 of his game-high 20 points before the intermission.
The Indians cut the deficit back down to five with another 5-0 spurt. This time Marin took it upon himself to get Elko within striking distance. The fleet-footed guard got fouled on a drive and converted both free throws and then swished a trey from way downtown, leaving Sparks with only a 24-19 lead with 2:46 to go before the break.
However, Sparks got two buckets in the last 34 seconds of the second quarter, including a Brian Morgan jumper from the left elbow at the buzzer to take a 28-19 lead into the locker room.
That momentum didn't carry into the second half. The Ruby Mountain League's runner-up tallied the first seven points of the second half and made a game of it.
In the first three minutes of the third quarter, the Indians got to within two points, 28-26. Jordan ended Elko's run before it could tie the game by knocking down a jumper.
After going on a four-and-a-half minute drought to start the third quarter, Sparks owned the final 3:30. Only a Marin step-back 3-pointer prevented the Railroaders from closing out the third period with four straight baskets. Instead, the hosts had to settle for a 36-29 edge going into the final eight minutes of action.
Every time Elko got fouled while making a bucket in the fourth quarter, the crowd erupted and the Indians let out a war cry in what felt like potential momentum shifters. But all three times Elko went to the line to convert a 3-point play, it came away empty handed.
And each time the Indians came way empty handed, Sparks came right back and answered to keep the same seven-point margin. Rodriguez had two of those baskets for the Railroaders, while Henry Banks had one, making the scoreboard read 42-35 with 4:28 left in the game.
The eastern Nevada school didn't do itself any favors at the charity stripe in the last eight minutes, missing all four of its free-throw attempts and going 6-for-14 in the game.
Elko was still able to close the margin to four points with 1:37 to go in the game with consecutive scores.
After the Indians fouled twice to get closer to putting Sparks into the bonus situation, Jordan drove baseline and fed a pass to Darius Devine for an easy two, increasing the lead to 47-41 with 52 seconds on the clock.
Coming out of a timeout by Elko, Marin drained a 3-pointer from the wing, making it a one-possession game.
It got a little scary for the Railroader faithful as the Railroaders turned the ball over 10 seconds later. Luckily, the Indians were called for an illegal screen and gave the ball right back.
Morgan was fouled on the ensuing inbounds pass with 14.6 seconds to go. However, he missed the front end of a 1-and-1 situation and it breathed life into Elko.
The Indians brought the ball up the court looking for a game-tying three-ball. Marin let one fly with 6 seconds left but it bounced off the rim. Elko got an offensive board which was kicked out to Quinn Jonas in the corner, but his 3-point attempt sailed long at the buzzer and Sparks fans stormed the court.
"It's really huge for the seniors," Jones said. "Like I told them, they've tasted both sides of this. Two years ago the kids on varsity lost and last year they won. This year they proved it wasn't just a fluke and they deserved to go back to get another chance. I'm really proud of them."
Sparks (15-6) will play Ruby Mountain League champion Lowry in the state semifinals at 12:40 p.m. Friday at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

Compared to Marvel in the 1990's , DC seemed to really have a defined focus and kept their shit togethor. There was instances where DC had dropped the ball at times on certain characters but its not like DC had a Marvel decade. They seemingly managed to keep their comics pretty solid thru much of the decade and a lotta big events helped.
The Failure to IMPACT !
Since we started the Marvel thread with a silly instance , we'll do the same for DC. In the early 1990's DC had decided that what they needed was a kids line or young adults line of comics. This would be the Impact line. Of course in no time DC sabaotoged the line themselves...as the link below will tell.
DC had licensed the characters from Archie and they included the Web, the Comet , the Shield , the Jaguar and Fly. The Archie heroes had last been seen in the early 80's and now DC was attempting to revive them here.
Whats really scary is that the people behind this were in fact scouring old heroes to introduce to kids in this line. One of them looked at was Solar , Magnus and the old Gold Key line . They decided against that (I'm sure Jim Shooter/Vallient was happy looking back) and kept searching. DC's luck had them land on the MLJ heroes ..or Archie Universe heroes for short.
The line faced problems as it was envisioned to be released on the newsstand . After 2 years and falling sales , DC decided to pull the plug at the last minute in the Crucible mini-series to wrap up the line and not do a 3rd year. This link gives a history of Impact Comics and how it sadly died.
The saving grace of Impact was that it helped get Mark Waid exposed and Waid would go on to bigger fame somehow. :p
Mike Carlin doesn't like geratric superheroes !
In one of the bad displays of the 1990's DC VP Mike Carlin had pretty much put the hammer down on the Justice Society. Its said Carlin didn't like the older generation of heroes and decided they needed to be put out to pasture.
This was coming off a series that many have contended sold very well from the 10 issues done. The JSA were then 2 years later nearly all slaughtered by Extent (Monarch-Hank Hall-Hawk). Dr.Midnite , Hourman and the Atom all die and the rest are super aged to retirement.
The only one saved was Alan Scott who became young and was saved the JSA's fate then. He became Sentinal. But the hammer had fallen and many of these older heroes were replaced. Some very well like Starman (Jack Knight) and some comically bad on levels that many fans laughed hard like Fate (Jared Stevens).
The Big Events ERA !
It all began in 1992 really. DC had decided to throw the 1st volley at Marvel and decided that shaking up the Universe was more fun than staying pat. So what kicked it off..... The DEATH OF SUPERMAN !
Supes death was a huge event as many already know. This didn't stop the rest of the hammer falling as soon Batman had himself get exhuasted and have his back broke . Then we saw Hal Jordan angry and over the edge destroy the Green Lantern Corps , as a new Green Lantern would emerge.
Wonder Woman would lose the right to call herself WW. Green Arrow would die and be replaced by his long lost son , then Zero Hour would happen ...whew. This all happened in a 2 to 3 year span of reading.
DC had on many cases did very well with the events. They of course suffered critics who bashed them for daring to replace a popular hero like Hal Jordan with a young guy like Kyle Rayner. But 9 times outta 10....they'd keep the course and push on. Eventually finishing a highly debated turn like Knightfall/Knightquest and putting out good comics.
The shakeups also gave fans something to do in the 1990's. Because Marvel was a pit except for a few things and at least DC was trying to fire out something. They had clunkers as you'll read ahead. Any company will....but 9 times outta 10....they had something good with the risks taken like Starman or Green Lantern.
(please wait til all 3 to 4 parts are posted to reply guys..working on it all ok)

Teaching methodology and ethos
For practical based activities like mountain bike leading, this means we use mountain biking and leading to practically help leaders develop their own skills. Using the actual activity helps put the context into learning points and of course provides lots of opportunities for practice and supporting feedback to continue the development of your skills. CTC aims to make as much of the course as possible practical through application exercises, even when in the classroom. We will not talk 'at' you.
We integrate the principles of 'what leaders need to do' with 'how to do them', and reinforce these with why and where these principles should be used.
Your involvement
These principles have resulted in a very fluid course, taking account of your needs and requirements which operates within a framework to fulfil the requirements of the course outcomes. You will be expected to contribute your skills, experience and knowledge throughout the course to aid your and others' leader development.
All aspects of the course apply new or existing knowledge to mountain biking situations, hence if you have knowledge of a particular aspect (e.g. navigation) from other activities, the course will help you put it into a mountain biking context.
Although we aim to modify each course specifically to meet your needs, where you have substantial knowledge of a particular subject (e.g. you are a bike shop mechanic) you may already know and understand some areas of the course. In this situation, please bear in mind others on the course who do not have this knowledge, and continue to develop yourself by assisting them.
